چکیده مقاله
Methods
Seven unilateral ACLD men participated in this study. The interface pressure between the anterior shell and proximal of the tibia and ground reaction force was recorded by means of Novel Pliance X and Kistler force platform, respectively. Wilcoxon ranked-sign test and factor analysis repeated measure analysis of variance were used to analyze data.
Results
The use of functional brace had no significant effect on interface pressure and peak points of the ground reaction force. By use of a functional brace, the valley and the impulse of the vertical component of ground reaction force on ACLD limb increased significantly (P< 0.05) and also improved limb symmetry of all parameters. The interface pressure was greater at distal contact points of the shell, which are at the middle level of the tibia crest.
Conclusions
The results suggest that functional brace could not apply force on proximal tibia especially at ACLD
